What's the big deal?Many of our clients don't understand the importance of quality graphic design in their advertising. When we are faced with this predicament - we use the following illustration. When doing a random search on Google, we came across two logos:
Example 1: Bad Design
 This logo exhibits qualities that are NOT desirable in a logo. Here is a list of things that are wrong with this logo:
- Poor Use of Color - The colors in this logo are not attractive, and do not mix well in this setting.
- Gradient Usage - The blending of colors in the background is a poor choice for logos (makes it difficult for compatibility, merchandise, etc.).
- Bevels - It's a well known "no-no" to use bevels (Illusion of 3-D Text) in logos.
- Distorted Backgoud - The image of the earth in the background is squeezed together - looking unprofessional.
- Text Flow - there is no flow amongst the text. The eyes are lost after the RBG bridging into the White text.
- Logo Shape - Although circle applications are popular, this layout does not look attractive.
Example 2: Good Design
 Now this logo, on the other hand, displays all that is desirable in a logo. Here is what this logo does well:
- Great Use of Color - the colors are soft on the eye, and compliment each other nicely.
- Simplicity - the logo is immediately noticeable, and the company name is clear.
- Font Compliment Each Other - the fonts are smooth, anti-aliased, and vector based. They are clear and match well with each other.
- Logo Image - the image of the cherries is simple yet attractive, using color that will cause the mouth to water.
- Logo Shape - the shape of the logo yields many applications, and allows the viewers eye to flow from top to bottom.
The Design ProcessAlot of work goes on behing the scenes when designing a logo for a company. Font selection. color selection, layout, image, shapes, and lines are just some of the elements that need to be carefully planned.

All logos are designed with a story in mind, and the final product always ensures to give a positive impression for your company.
